Segregating sites in a gene conversion model with mutation.

Abstract excerpt

Formulae for the expectation and variance of the number of segregating and homogeneous sites in a sample of two chromosomes are found. The model includes gene conversion and infinitely-many-alleles mutation in a coalescent framework. The corresponding infinitely-many-sites model limits are also found. The formulae for the expectation are extended to any sample size. Comparisons are drawn between the pure mutation...
